subreddits are moderated by folks who are like-minded individuals that participate in the subreddit. It seems more likely that you were moderated by those subreddit admins, not the Reddit administration.
Furthermore, Reddit is a private organization, and they don't have to give a damn about freedom of speech.
I've been told, by a drunken reddit admin in a late night talk, that no one likes my opinions and I should just go away. True to form, callow youth are generally the most sure of their own views while also being sure that everyone else is wrong.

Agreed. They should stop acting like they care when they don't.
